Round 8: Tossup 2
An unnamed family returns from one of these places to find their rosebush gone in a novel that ends with their father’s crazed confession. In 2024, Penguin Classics published an anthology of work from these places, whose editor has lauded Jeanne Houston’s memoir titled for a “Farewell” to one. After leaving one of these places and prison, a man has an affair with Emi and sees Freddie die in a car crash. In another novel, Father sends music exercises to his son Stephen while in one of these places, which Naomi learns from the (*) journals of her Aunt Emily. Novels about the aftermath of life in these places include Julie Otsuka’s When the Emperor Was Divine, John Okada’s No-No Boy, and Joy Kogawa’s Obasan. For 10 points, the photo book Born Free and Equal by Ansel Adams depicts a place of what type called Manzanar? ■END■
